Wear your proton packs on Bethesda Lane tonight, as Bethesda Row and Redwood unleash the supernatural forces of the 1980s with the 1985 classic, Ghostbusters.
The movie and the popcorn are FREE at dusk, but show up early for arts and crafts sponsored by Kidville, and FREE soft serve samples from Puree Juice Bar.
But don't stop there! Refresh yourself with Redwood's Ghostbuster Cocktail, an otherworldly concoction of cucumber juice, vodka, lime and St. Germain. Just don't try to drive the Ecto-1 after one too many of these.
Redwood also is serving beer-battered codfish tacos with avocado sauce, and is saving the best for last: Stay Puft Marshmallow Man S'mores!
Dine at Redwood, and you'll also have the best seat in the house, because their patio is on the lane.

BETHESDA ROW OUTDOOR MOVIES UNDER THE STARS 2012
OK, let me get the good news out of the way first:
Every Tuesday in August, Bethesda Row will screen an outdoor movie at dusk on Bethesda Lane.
The theme this year is 80s Movies Under the Stars.
Now, the bad news:
Here are the movies Federal Realty has selected...
August 7: The Breakfast Club
August 14: Ghostbusters
August 21: Pretty in Pink
August 28: Dirty Dancing
Well, one out of four ain't bad!
Oh no, here comes the soapbox.
I have to say that not only is this lineup heavily targeted toward women only, but are curious selections when there are so many better movies to choose from.
I mean, if you're going to say this is an 80s filmfest, where are the masterworks (The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, E.T., Tron, Indiana Jones 1-3, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rocky III+IV, Back to the Future I+II, Top Gun, Batman...I am just scratching the surface here!)?
Ghostbusters is the only true classic with mass appeal on this list.
If this lineup is your cup of tea, it will be an enjoyable evening under the stars.
But if you share my opinion that the movie lineup should be more inclusive, why not let Federal Realty know, by posting a comment on the Bethesda Row Facebook page?
